In your hands. A dual-camera smart telescope with 737mm of reach, a Sony STARVIS 2 sensor, and a full astrophotography studio built into the app. From deep-sky nebulae to birds in flight, it does it all from a 1.3kg body. View full specifications 737 mm equivalent reach telephoto lens 8.3 MP Sony IMX678 STARVIS 2 sensor 3° field of view whole targets in frame 5.5 hr battery life a full night out See deep space Galaxies and nebulae, clearly within reach. The 737mm telephoto and STARVIS 2 sensor pull faint deep-sky targets out of the dark. Andromeda, the Orion Nebula, the Veil, the Pleiades. Point, capture, and the DWARF 3 stacks frame after frame into a clean, detailed image. More optics, more sensor, more battery. The smart telescope, fully grown. Easy to start Tap your phone. Start shooting. NFC one-touch pairing connects your phone in seconds. Pick a target from the star chart or point your phone at the sky, and the DWARF 3 finds it and locks on. No alignment ritual first. Auto star finding It locates and tracks for you. Choose an object and the DWARF 3 slews to it, focuses, and tracks it as Earth turns. A field-rotation-correction algorithm keeps stars round through the whole session, so framing never drifts. Equatorial mode 60-second exposures, four times longer. On a polar-aligned tripod, EQ mode eliminates field rotation and unlocks exposures up to four times longer. More light per frame means richer detail in faint nebulae and galaxies. Built-in triple filter A filter for every sky. Switch between VIS for daytime, an astro filter for deep space, and a dual-narrowband Hα / O III filter that cuts city light pollution. A magnetic solar filter is included for safe imaging of the Sun. Creation Center A studio inside the app. One-click optimisation, noise reduction, star calibration, and even star removal run on your phone. No laptop and no expensive software needed to turn raw frames into a share-ready image. Grab and go A whole observatory at 1.3kg. Dictionary-sized and around 1.3kg, the DWARF 3 packs into its included carry bag and travels anywhere. Backyard, campsite, or a dark-sky weekend, it is ready when the sky is. Dual camera system Two lenses. Sky and landscape. A 6-element apochromatic telephoto reaches 737mm equivalent for deep-sky and close detail. A wide-angle lens frames the Milky Way, panoramas, and fast-moving subjects. Every mode now works on both lenses, and you switch between them with one tap. The night sky, made simple Look up. Tap once. Capture it. From the Moon to the far edges of deep space, the DWARF 3 turns a clear night into a finished photograph. Sony IMX678 STARVIS 2 Built to see in the dark. The 8.3-megapixel STARVIS 2 sensor reaches 83% quantum efficiency with just 0.6e− read noise and 12-bit output. It gathers more faint light with less noise, so nebulae come through layered and smooth rather than grainy. Schedule a shoot Set it tonight. Sleep through it. Plan a target and start time in advance and the DWARF 3 begins on its own. No staying up all night, and no missing a narrow window when the object is highest. Multi-night stacking Stack across nights for depth. Combine results from different sessions into one cleaner, higher-resolution image. A faint target keeps improving across many nights, far beyond what a single evening can gather. Mosaic mode Four times the frame. A 2×2 stitching mode expands a single field to four times its area. Rotate and zoom to compose freely and capture a large nebula complete, edge to edge, in one panorama. Curve colour grading Tune the colour in-app. Built-in curve grading adjusts the RGB channels individually to rebalance colour and restore the true tones of stars and nebulae. Fine control without leaving your phone. Sign your work Add your watermark, then share. Apply a personal watermark before posting so a finished shot is unmistakably yours. From capture to a share-ready image without ever opening a computer. Pro formats Export RAW for full control. Save in JPG and PNG for quick sharing, or FITS and TIFF for serious post-processing in Siril or PixInsight. The DWARF 3 suits beginners and experienced imagers alike. Daytime exploring Not just for the night. An AI neural-processing unit recognises and tracks wildlife automatically, with continuous autofocus that holds a moving bird sharp. If it takes off, the dual-camera system quickly repositions and stays with it. Beyond deep sky One device, every subject. Gigapixel panorama Stitch the whole scene. AI stitching blends many frames into a seamless gigapixel panorama with no visible joins. An ultra-wide field with massive detail, so you can zoom right in and it stays sharp. Sun and Moon Safe solar, crisp lunar. The included magnetic solar filter lets you image the Sun safely, from sunspots to eclipses. Turn to the Moon for sharp, detailed craters along the terminator on any clear night. Milky Way and star trails Wide-field nightscapes. Point at the Milky Way for one-click capture with automatic foreground separation and stacking. Switch off tracking for star-trail mode that blends the landscape with the sky's turning arcs. Star chart guidance Daily targets, picked for you. The app recommends what is worth shooting each night based on your sky. Tap a suggestion and go straight from choosing a target to capturing it, with no guesswork. Dual apochromatic cameras: 737mm equivalent telephoto plus a 45mm equivalent wide-angle. Sony IMX678 STARVIS 2 sensor, 8.3 MP, 2μm pixels, 83% quantum efficiency. Built-in VIS, astro, and dual-narrowband filters, plus an included magnetic solar filter. Equatorial mode unlocks exposures up to four times longer with no field rotation. 10,000mAh battery for up to 5.5 hours, plus 128GB of onboard storage. NFC one-touch pairing and full app control for iOS and Android. Exports JPG, PNG, FITS, and TIFF for sharing or advanced post-processing. Doubles as a daytime instrument for birdwatching, wildlife, and gigapixel panoramas. Specifications Every number that matters.
